A budding child psychiatrist

A budding child psychiatrist
Me in Shanghai, 1947

About Me

My photo
Am Ang Zhang
I was trained and practised Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in UK. Since my retirement and until the pandemic, I have spent most of my time on my two major lifelong hobbies, travelling and photography, while also trying to keep up with the latest medical research and advancements. While my first book "The Cockroach Catcher" was some sort of casebook, the new one is a collection of essays and photographs chronicling some of my travels and random thoughts on my work and life experiences. The book will be of interest to those interested in nature and medical issues, in child and adolescent psychiatry in particular, It will also appeal to those who enjoy reading about and seeing pictures of unusual travel destinations.
